The article discusses how the White House's social media presence under Trump's administration has shifted from sober communication to overtly propagandistic messaging. An alarming post on X celebrated the end of New York City's congestion pricing with imagery depicting Trump as a king. This move elicited significant backlash, given America's historical aversion to monarchy. Political figures like Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and New York Governor Kathy Hochul publicly criticized the regal portrayal, emphasizing the principles of democracy and the absence of kings in America, solidifying their stance against the glorification of Trump's presidency.
Under Trump's presidency, the White House's digital communications have transcended mere propaganda to a level of bad taste and sycophancy, shocking observers.
The post featuring a fake Time magazine cover showcasing Trump in a crown evoked reactions about the troubling promotion of monarchy in a democratic nation.
New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years and we sure as hell are not going to start now, said Governor Kathy Hochul.
As governor of Illinois, my oath is to the constitution of our state and our nation. We don't have kings in America, stated JB Pritzker.
